After eating breakfast, Lian Zhou took her bag out of the gate of the small courtyard. Mr. Leng hid in the room, watching him go away from the window.Suddenly, two strangers in black appeared in the alley, closely following Lianzhou.Mr. Leng murmured "no good" and immediately went out to follow the man in black.The man in black watched Lianzhou enter the school gate and stopped following him, and started smoking at the school gate instead.Until noon, when Lianzhou went out to eat lunch, Mr. Leng smiled inwardly, the young master of the Shen family never ate in the school cafeteria.The two men in black followed Lianzhou again, so Mr. Leng had no choice but to follow.Soon the men in black found that Mr. Leng was following them, so they surrounded them one by one, "Hey, don't be upset, what are you doing?" Mr. Leng didn't panic, and looked at the direction Lianzhou was going away and asked, "You Why do you follow him?" The man in black smiled: "You are really nosy enough, we follow him, what does it have to do with you, ah?" Mr. Leng rolled his eyes at them: "He is my son, you said it has something to do with it No?" This time the two men in black were stunned, "The courtyard in the newspaper alley is your home?" Mr. Leng nodded, "Yes, it's my home. It's only natural for my son to go home and live with me!" The two men After getting bored, I didn't follow anymore. It seemed that I hurried back to report the letter.

Zheng Hai who received the news from Beiping was even more at a loss. After thinking about it, he didn't call Zhaoshi, but asked someone to inquire about Mr. Leng's background.Xiao Luanqiu was a mess on the scene, and the news of Mr. Leng spread to Shanghai very quickly.Zheng Hai kept thinking about what Mr. Leng said when they left Guanghe Garden: "It's not good for children from aristocratic families to come to this place, and the family still takes care of it." , it seems that he already knew their identities.That's right, the Shen family is a big family with a big business, so young masters like him and Lian Zhou have all gone through the clear road, and everyone knows it.Zhenghai was in a dilemma, wondering if he should tell Huanzhu the news.

Zheng Hai couldn't make decisions like this. A telegram invited Zhaoshi back to Shanghai, but he didn't dare to discuss such things with Zhaoshi at home, so he dragged him to a cafe in the concession.

"Second Uncle, you would never have guessed where Lianzhou would live if he didn't go back to the dormitory?" Hearing Zhenghai's words, Lianzhou didn't live in Yanhualiu Lane, so Zhaoshi breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell me, where is he?" .”

"There is his father, his dear father."

Zhaoshi's expression also became serious, the news was too heavy.The unfortunate marriage between the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law is a public case of their Shen family.Because of such misfortune, Huanzhu became hoarse, Lianzhou lost his mother, and Yu Xiaozhen and Lanxin were even trapped in it.When he married Lan Xin back then, he even understood the irritability of his elder brother a little bit, but now that the two are in harmony, he can't help but feel sorry for his elder brother and sister-in-law.Zhaoshi was educated by his sister-in-law as a sage since he was a child, and he always knew how to hide it for the venerable. He avoided it as much as he could, and didn't say a word. Now that the matter was in front of him like this, he couldn't tolerate it.

He had no choice but to sigh and say to Zhenghai: "In this matter, both Huanzhu and Lianzhou are more miserable than you. They never know what kind of life a child with a father is like. Look at this, Lianzhou has already recognized his father. We definitely have no reason to break up the family. Listen to what you mean, my elder brother also tried to find a way to criticize Huanzhu that day. Since this is the case, I’m afraid we have to tell Huanzhu whether it’s her business or not. There is absolutely no reason to hide it from her. It's just that my sister-in-law can't let her know, it will make her sad on the one hand, and make it difficult for her to do it on the other."

Zhenghai became worried: "Don't tell mother, in case she finds out one day, she doesn't want to blame us for hiding such a big matter from him." Zhaoshi frowned: "That is inevitable, if there is any blame, just accept it .So I want you to be careful, and don't accidentally slip your mouth. There is no need to ask Lian Zhou, that kid understands these things, and this will keep us a secret."

In the evening, Zhaoshi suddenly asked Lan Xin: "How many monthly bills are Huanzhu and Lianzhou paying from the family's account now?" Lan Xin laughed a lot: "Why do you still ask this now? 50 yuan per month for a person. Huanzhu received a salary in the factory after working, and the monthly salary was reduced to 30 yuan. Later, when he married Zhenghai, the monthly salary was paid according to the daughter-in-law, and it became 50 yuan per month. Lianzhou has not changed. After going to college, my sister-in-law asked him to pay him another 50 yuan from her account, and he has 100 yuan a month." Zhaoshi shook Lan Xin's hand and laughed: "It really is the young mistress who was trained by my sister-in-law. The amount of one yuan is really clear. According to what you said, it is Zhenghai’s monthly payment for the young master, and Huanzhu’s young wife’s monthly payment?” Lan Xin also laughed: "Zhenghai thinks that the godmother is the young master’s monthly payment. Compared with you You and Lianzhou are no less. Now the two of them are much richer than the two of us. The salary of your army is only a few yuan, how can it compare with the salary of the manager at home?" Zhaoshi thought for a while: " The two of them usually have more entertainment than us, and they spend a lot of money. See if you can transfer some money from their account to Lianzhou, and don't care where they come from to replenish them." Zhaoshi used to ask about the family's daily necessities, rice, oil and salt. Lan Xin was surprised to mention this today: "Who is my sister-in-law? Although she has never looked at the family's account in the past two years, I dare not deceive her casually. Besides, Lianzhou's monthly fee for a student It’s almost surpassing the university professor, why do you still have to give him money and get it from Huanzhu?”

Zhaoshi didn't lie to Lan Xin, and told Lan Xin about his elder brother in detail: "I heard from Zhenghai that elder brother is also very down and out now. Since Lianzhou is with him, sending him more money is also a good idea. It is to subsidize the eldest brother, from Huanzhu's account, so that she can do her best. No matter what happened to the elder brother and sister-in-law in the past, the elder brother will always be her own father. Now that she knows her whereabouts, she must support her." Lan Xin said at this time But for Jing Xian, he was aggrieved, "If you want me to say, Lian Zhou shouldn't have recognized him at all!" Zhaoshi shook his head, "Lian Zhou was also raised by his sister-in-law, and since he was a child, he has heard of parents who are all right in the world, so he recognized him. Eldest brother is also human." Lan Xin sat up straight and said, "You boasted that you often read the classics of the saints. Although the saints say that filial piety is the scriptures of heaven and earth, and the behavior of the people, they also say that it is not the most virtuous. Who else can obey the people like this? It's the big one. It can be seen that only when you reach the level of a gentleman can you get true obedience. If Lianzhou recognizes your elder brother as your father, it will definitely make your sister-in-law sad. Shouldn't you be filial to your sister-in-law? You are so confused! "

Zhaoshi didn't answer for a long time, he had nothing to say, Lan Xin was right.But from his heart, he would still like to see his eldest brother and Lianzhou father and son reunited. Even though it would make his sister-in-law sad, in his opinion, reunion is always better than separation.He took Lan Xin's shoulders: "Okay, you're right, I'm also being taught today. I'm not in a hurry about what I said, let me ask Huanzhu what she means, if she is willing , you can help to think of a way." Lan Xin turned her face away: "I can't help it, teach me to deceive my sister-in-law. First, I don't have the ability, and second, I don't have the courage. You should all be dutiful sons and grandsons. I pay here, sorry, no!"

Lan Xin had never rejected Zhao Shi so abruptly before, which made Zhao Shi feel a little embarrassed, so he could only say angrily: "Forget it! Why can't I get these few dollars." For a while, the two were speechless, Each fell asleep.

In the early morning, Zhaoshi and Zhenghai got up early to exercise as usual, and Lan Xin quietly entered Huanzhu's room.After roughly asking about the situation, Huanzhu nodded and gestured, she already knew.Then she took a pen and wrote a note to Lan Xin: "The elders can always forgive our mistakes, and we have to forgive in due course. As for the grievances between parents, they can only resolve them themselves, no matter what the result is, I can accept it." Lan Xin caressed Huanzhu's back and said, "She is really a smart and kind girl. How many people live in a daze all their lives are not as clear-sighted as you."

Zhaoshi came back from a run, and Lan Xin handed him the note. Zhaoshi smiled and squeezed Lan Xin's face: "We are not as good as Huanzhu. Zhaoshi came out of the shower, and he didn't put on his clothes yet. The door of the room was pushed open with a bang, which startled him, he quickly grabbed his shirt and put it on his body, the girl Yun Luo hurriedly followed: "Auntie, Auntie. As a result, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhaoshi who was in a state of embarrassment, and ran away with an "ah". Zhaoshi said helplessly, "Sister, you should knock on the door before you come in. I'm wearing clothes right now." "Zhaoquan ignored his tricks at all, and asked straightforwardly: "Is there any rule in your national army that prohibits concubines? Zhaoshi scratched his head, and said honestly: "There are regulations, not only for military officers, but also for government officials."But you know, many people were married and took concubines before the Northern Expedition, so they must not be driven away, so that is to say.Miss, what do you mean?My brother-in-law wants to take a concubine? "Zhaoquan burst into tears: "It's fine for the one who killed a thousand swords to sleep in flowers and sleep in willows all day long, but now he's raising people outside. "After hearing this, Zhao Shi's head grew bigger. Chen Xiangfan was his elder sister at home, and he was also an officer one rank higher than him in the army. How should such things be handled.

Lan Xin hurriedly wiped away Zhaoquan's tears, "Eldest sister, elder sister, please don't cry, speak slowly." Zhao Shi hadn't finished dressing yet, so she had to say to Lan Xin, "Accompany elder sister to the small living room on the second floor. I'll go up and see my sister-in-law, and I'll ask her to come down later." Lan Xin and Zhaoquan also knew that such matters had to be told to Jing Xian.

When Zhaoshi followed Jingxian to the small living room on the second floor, the tears on Zhaoquan's face were still wet. When he saw Jingxian, he couldn't help but went over and hugged her: "Sister-in-law, what should I do?" After crying on her shoulder for a long time, she patted her on the back and said, "Okay, don't cry anymore, your brother and sister-in-law are watching. If there's anything serious, just tell me." Then Zhaoquan sobbed He sat down, and before he could speak, tears came out again.Jing Xian said, "Lan Xin, ask Yun Luo to twist a hot towel, and get a comb to comb your elder sister's hair."
